Ugh, I hate that I clicked on that and probably contributed a fraction of a cent to those fools.

Not to derail here, but there was a link to a youtube vid of John Kittinger who made a skydive from an altitude of 102,800 ft. This reminded me of another vid of Kittinger set to "GW", by the band Pelican.
Bad ***.

How do they explain the moon wobbling?
Anyone came across that thread yet?

How do they explain that we've been to space and we've seen the earth from space and it's ****ing round? How do they explain those amateur hobbyists floating cameras into high earth orbit and photographing the earth? I mean... are you kidding me? How do they explain the seasons? The cycle of the moon?
This is even more aggravating than that guy on youtube who thinks nuclear weapons are a hoax, or Creationism being taught in schools.

They say instead of gravity, we have Universal Acceleration. In other words, the big plate we all live on is constantly accelerating up and under us. This is what holds us to the ground.
Also, the sun and moon are both 32 mile wide disks that hover above said plate like a flashlight.
Brilliant.

I guess I'll be the one to spoil the fun and inform you all that this is a joke, and you've all been had.
Being a flat-earther is a rhetorical exercise. It's a game designed to force you to give extremely convoluted but clever responses to extremely simple common-sense arguments. I used to force novice college debaters to play "Flat Earth," "Cheese Moon," and "The Sky is Pink" early on to demonstrate some subtly deceptive argument forms. You'd be amazed how good people get at this game. Stephen Colbert essentially plays a variation on this game all the time when in character.
There are probably a couple loonies who really believe in a flat earth, but I bet most people on that discussion forum are just playing "Flat Earth" and letting their troll targets come to them.

Anyone who loves debate to the point that they create/re-create? the flat earth society website and message board to encourage trolls to respond to their outrageous claims has waaaay to much time on their hands. On the flip-side I spend a lot of time on Jazzfanz debating the importance of run/blitz packages in the NFL, so who am I to judge?
